Ok I love Chicago and everything its a great city but in todays redeye newspaper I read that there were 11 people shot and injured and 3 people killed this weekend alone AND 3 people were stabbed on the 95th red line stop.
See that's why I only go as far as Roosevelt on the Red Line.
But I legit have no ideas on how to stop the violence. Like I normally have wonderful ideas for problem solving solutions and stuff but it just gets worse and worse and alot of time it not even the intended target. WTH. These gang bangers need to take some classes like CGB 101 (Chicago Gang-Banging) cuz if they're going to kill each other off in all honesty that's alright with me but stop killing off people who have things going for them, that aren't banging, that are just outside enjoying the weather MY GOODNESS like I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago had like a Noah's Ark kind of thing happen because this city is getting ridiculous.
Its sad I have to be selective about where I want to do Community Service because im worried I'll end up not coming back home. Do Parents just not know where and what their children are doing? Are the youth being corrupted by other youth? Do We need to have some kind of programs in schools at young ages to catch them while we can? Marching in the streets and holding peace rallies just isn't effective we need action. But what can we do??
I Love this song a special person reminded me of it :)
So I haven't posted in awhile I was experiencing so major writer's block, like what can I deliver to the readers I may have? Writer's block is going to have to find a new home this quarter because UGH i have a creative writing class and I can't afford to have a failure of imagination.
Countdown T-Minus 7 days until school it's been an ultra long summer I'm ready to get back, start this job and make $$, get involved and OF COURSE get my grades lookin NICEEEEE.
It is with great sadness that I write now about a very kind, never disrespectful woman who was always just full of life and happiness who took her life a couple days ago. I spent a year or so working with her about every night and news hit me really hard, cried for like an hour it was all bad. But this world is so full of BULLSHYT, you can live the most wholesome life be kindest and sweetest person to everyone and still be completely screwed over. Sometimes you wonder is it worth it to be kind when you're not going to receive the same treatment back? YES. Your actions should be done because you know they are the right thing to do and because you know you can touch a life in a positive way for alot of people.
This is to anyone reading, if you ever feel like life has gotten to be too much for you, that you can't go on please seek help. There are Sucide Hotlines that you can contact, think about your family your friends there's always at least one person who loves you in the world. Talk to a stranger, talk to a friend, and people don't tell your friends or family "later i'm busy", make time this could be the last chance you have to save a life.

This song is old but it's been in heavy rotation on my ipod this week.
SO! Good News: 16 days until school starts. Got a new boyfriend =) AND got a job in the library. Sayyy WHATT!1 #Winning
BUT alright. Lets talk about how BOGUS Rhianna is for trying to get Rebellious Flower tatted on her in French but putting "Rebelle Fleur" instead of "Fleur Rebelle". Adjective after noun in langue de francais. People please consult something other than Yahoo Babel Fish for your tattoo translations. SMH
So why are Chicago State Freshman getting ipads?? And why did they announce it at the Bud. Like people are about to start getting robbed. I'm just trying to make sure my DePaul lanyard is visible. That will scream "I have no money it goes towards this expensive education, please do not attempt to rob me. I DO NOT HAVE AN IPAD." But it just seems like those funds could be allocated towards something else, like having a computer is one of those "other" categories in your expected total for school. Or use one on campus. They could use a new dorm to be built. Since they only have one.
UGH about Rich East students getting laptops like I'm fine with this idea and all (all Walter Payton students had them too) but the district as a whole sucks. I need them to make moves that will benefit the entire district and no just one school.But shouts out to Southland Charter College Prep High School that’s going to take students a long way. My cousin HAS to go there. He needs a chance at a quality education.
Next blog: On why only 47% of African American males are graduating and Religious intolerance and Burn the Qur'an Day.
Happy Friday the 13th *Evil Laugh* MUUHHAAHHAHAHH.
Just Kidding.
Today's Revelation: I want to go to Bartending School soon as I turn 21.
In other news it was brought to my attention that these people who had this big huge house on the market for two years, refused to sell it to this African American couple because they "preferred not to". Kanye said even if you in a Benz you still a Nigha in a coupe. SMH.
ALSO im tired of hearing about Montana Fishbourne. At first granted I found it interesting and quite stupid that she chose to get famous through porn. Now I just think shes stupid and I DO NOT CARE that she was a prosti and this and that and ooo my life is so sad SHUT UP your dad is loaded, another classic case of rich girl actin out. If I chose to do porn it definitely wouldn't be for fame, it would be because I had sunk to an all time financial low and I had no one to turn to and I had to support myself and family. But because Kim Khardasian got famous from a sex tape Montana (why is she named after a state sounds like a boy name) thinks this will be her break out career. You ma'am are a dumb broad.
And Kim Khardasian is a dumb broad too I don't support her career or watch her show. And why was she on Teen Choice Awards?? And people wonder why everyone's pregnant look at these negative images that females in the media are creating. Gorgeous woman, career started through a sex tape. Someone please grab our young ladies by the hand and lead them.
Last I just want to say, not to offend no one that's grinding or whatever but if I hear about another HOOP dream or RAP career I swear I will throw a fit. Like I understand that maybe that's how some people want to make it out the hood or whatever, but the only way to do that is to get your education. And people be on some "i can't go to college we don't have the money" OK colleges and the government give the most money to those who are in the most desperate need. That's what the system is set up for. So get yo bum azz out the studio and go take some classes in something you're interested in, or want to help someone because riding on these hoop and rap careers is gonna leave you sitting on the bench.
Lowkey this blog isn't really about anything. I don't have any major things to report.
Season Finale of Pretty Little Liars was tonight. Now I need to catch up on a week's worth of Degrassi and watch the foolish and pettiness that is the Bad Girl's Club.
Mayor Daley is considering closing the open admissions policy for City Colleges. With good reason, spending millions on remedial courses for people reading at the 8th grade level. QUESTION. HOW DID THEY EVEN GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL reading at the 8th grade level??! Smh
AT&T isn't letting customers have unlimited data service plans on Iphones and Ipads if you're a new customer anymore in an effort to declog networks in cities where data usage is highest. Oh well im still trying to be #TeamBlackberry anyway.
We're about to hit that point where people start going away to school and I'm here until September 5th. Stupid quarter system. I have yet another job interview on Monday for Library Circulation Desk Assistant. That's 63 apps: 2 interviews. Oh Yea. Im Winning. -__-
In semi exciting news I applied to be a SafeSite at DePaul. Part of the Great American Condom Campaign to promote sexual health if I am chosen I'll get a supply of 500 condoms to hand out throughout the year. DePaul finna kick me out... *knocks on wood*.
Um I think I learned the art of forgiveness. Wrote a 4 page letter that i'll never send. All positive. A wise person said that hating someone doesn't hurt that person, it just weighs down on you. So true. Plus no need to worry anymore. I'm happy, No male shall control how I feel. If you're not making me happy then you can *claps* *stomps* STEP.
P.S My hair is done. LONG HAIR DON'T CARE. Haha.
P.P.S Happy =)

HELLO WORLD. Welcome to a special edition blog #1 in light of the repeal for Proposition 8 the same sex marriage ban that had been placed upon the state of California. It was repealed on August 4, 2010 because it was deemed unconstitutional, "a violation of federal constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process."
WELL DAMN. Glad they figured it out. Lets start with Kristin's opinion and work our way to fact.
Opinion: WHY DA HELL is everyone SO CONCERNED with what homosexual couples are doing? Whether they are allowed to get married or not these people are still going to be gay at the end of the day. Its who they are. And America, you my friend are denying a basic human right. Why can everyone else up and get married? You got dumb young couples getting married only to divorce in a couple years but you won't let someone whose had a lifelong partner tie the knot? WHO ARE YOU AMERICA?!!! No one's stopping your interracial marriage! That’s not seen favorable in too many eyes... No one's stripping you of all your rights because you had an affair on your husband or wife are they? But that’s wrong too I thought...
So now what’s the argument? That homosexuality is wrong? That’s it goes against the Bible?
PAUSE.
Since the founding of the United States of America it has been understood that there is a separation of church and state. SO again why aren't same sex couples allowed to marry? Because that’s not what "marriage is?" who came up with what marriage is again? Why must we have an ordained priest or pastor make marriages official? Because they're an oath taken in front of God correct? So did God say what "marriage is"? Logically that would conclude that marriage is a division of church...and therefore STATE shouldn't have a say in who you're allowed to marry.
Next apparently homosexuality is an abomination in the bible. Let’s see what else is.
Unclean things Lev. 7:21
Cheating (Mic. 6:10)
A forward Man (perverse; one who turns aside (Pro. 3:32; 11:20)
A proud look (Pro. 6:16-17)
A lying tongue (Pro. 6:17; 12:22)
Homosexuality (Lev. 18:22; 20:13, Dt. 23:18)
Wearing clothes of the opposite sex (Dt. 22:5)
Bringing the hire of a harlot or sodomite into God's house (Dt 23:18)
Re-marriage of former companions (Dt. 24:1-4)
Making images/idols (Dt. 27:15)
Adultery (Ezek. 18:6-13)
Violence (Ezek. 18:6-13)
Breaking Vows (Ezek. 18:6-13)
Injustice (Ezek. 18:6-13)
Things highly esteemed by man (Lk. 16:1)
Leviticus 11:10-19 - (6) "But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you."
Eating shrimp and clams..is an abomination but I see ya'll LOVE Red Lobster though. So is it alright to pick and choose which abomination you'll commit today? "Today I think I'll eat some shrimp, get in a fight, cheat on my significant other AND lie to my boss about why im late". OH but you,, you homosexuals over there you're committing and abomination and you can't get married. Think I'll strip you of your rights while I go on abominating all over the place.
Interesting Research:
Research done by both D.F Swabb and Laura Allen in 1990 Compared gay and straight brains, finding differences in the hypothalamus. Simon Levay in 1991 discovered that the hypothalamus in gay men is twice as large as a straight man's YET the same size as a straight woman's. That’s #foodforthought.
It is also speculated that something scientifically goes wrong with which pheromones men or women are attracted to resulting in homosexuality. Also Psychology states that during the psychosexual stages of development, the Oedipal/Elektra complex is flipped therefore resulting in homosexual development (i.e the male child does not "desire his mother" as he is expected to and desires instead his father")
With these explanations of homosexual and many more biological ones (Dean Hamer's studies in 1993 showed that Genes in men may predispose them to homosexuality on the X chromosome) I am left to question how many believe that homosexuals CHOOSE to be the way they are. People don't normally CHOOSE to be ridiculed, discriminated against and targeted for hate crimes and language.
With that said we can assume that homosexuals are indeed gonna be gay, its who they are. Now...It is an abomination to cross dress (this includes women wearing pants!) hmm.. therefore its an abomination to pretend to be someone you are not. So American society forcing homosexual's to feign straightness, and remain in the closet sounds like pretending to be someone you aren’t. The injustice that is served upon homosexuals=abomination as well.
Or how about the Love of Money? Since America is a capitalist society it is safe to assume we all love money. Everything that is done is done with intent to gain profit. America, a country all for the separation of church and state, built on abominations yet still trying to pass legislation in accordance to religion makes them the biggest hypocrite to date.
Of course the repeal of Prop 8 is only one small step towards true equality. But all movements must start somewhere small...before they can make their long lasting impact.
Anyways I wanted to share one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me.
At 8th grade graduation I gave a speech and stuff and i was just crying my heart out looking out on the audience seeing everyone's parents but my mommy couldn't be there since she passed about 2 years before. After the ceremony I was outside looking for my family members when a lady I didn't know came to me and gave me the biggest hug ever and said "congratulations" and there was just something comforting and beautiful about her. After she let go I found my family and turned around to where she was and she was gone. I told my aunty about it (shes very strong in faith) and she said "that was your mom she was here with you today" and i just got uber sad and cried all the way home.
You know how white kids are VERY vocal about how they hate their parents "DAD I HATE YOU" and just talking to them any ol' kinda way. I promise you'll remember every single moment you even thought you hurt your parent(s) when they're gone. It'll kill you inside. So any grudges you have with your parents, forgive and forget. Say I Love You more often because although you can't imagine not having your parent in your life, the rules of life have already declared a day will come when you don't.
I'm Kristin. Im Awesome. I am a Psychology major, Communications/Media and Women and Gender Studies Minors. Education is the pathway to success. My Blog; My thoughts, feelings, opinions, beliefs. If you don't like don't read. Love me, cuz I love you =)
